Broadband moan again...sorry

My modem inside my NTL set top box keeps over heating. Every so often it gets too hot and stops working then it needs to be switched off and cool down. has anyone else had this problem? how did you fix it? I was thinking of putting a fan in it, but that will void the warranty.

Whenever I've had a problem with my NTL box, I've just called them and they've sent an engineer out to sort it, swapping the box if required.

Give 'em a call, hopefully they should sort it pronto...

if you hang the box out of the window by it's cables it'll stay nice & cool

Where's the box? If its on top of the telly or near a radiator, then its going to get quite hot.

Simply keep it in the freezer!

Bloody Telewest.

They have managed to omit Windsor - you know, with the castle, heart of UK Silicon Valley, from the digital upgrade. Its not like the damned town is full of people who work for tech companies or anything!!!
